 I am writing to express my serious disspointment regading the treatment of the peaceful protesters in Saigon on July 18, 2007. It is my understanding that approximately 1,500 Vietnamese police were dispatched to break up a peaceful sit-in of 1,700 peasants. I have seen reports that approximately 30 peasants were severely injured through acts of violence by the police. |

 Washington, D.C. Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) today sent a letter to Vietnamese President Triet, expressing her "serious disappointment regarding the treatment of the peaceful protesters in Ho Chi Minh City on July 18, 2007." The letter also states that Vietnam is failing to meet the human rights standards that the Unites States expects from its trading partners and that it must make a strong commitment to the promotion of human rights. |

 Despite the fact that the Land Rights protest by dispossessed peasants lasting 27 days has been effectively dispersed by state police by force, all will not be quiet for the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) from now on. The CPV turned out to be worse than the French colonialists and indeed worse than the former American puppets in Saigon. They took land from the peasants and effectively gave them to or enrich their members. |

 Democracy movements in Vietnam, a communist country, appear to have got a sudden fillip through solidarity from hundreds of farmers making their presence felt on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City over the past month. Hanoi’s reaction took a predictable turn when a large police force swooped down on the peaceful demonstrators, tearing down banners and signs, and arresting some of them, states Human Rights Watch (HRW), the New York-based global rights lobby. |

 The police suppression of a peaceful protest in Ho Chi Minh City on July 18, 2007 is a vivid demonstration of Vietnam’s continuing intolerance for government critics and the limits it imposes on free expression and assembly, Human Rights Watch said today. Hundreds of farmers from more than a dozen provinces in Vietnam had been protesting government land seizures outside Ho Chi Minh City’s National Assembly building for almost a month. Police tore down the protestors’ banners and signs, and took away some of the protestors on buses, according to eyewitnesses. |

 A dissident Buddhist leader being held under "pagoda arrest" in communist Vietnam made a rare public appearance to support protesters rallying against land seizures, his church said Wednesday. "This is the first time in 26 years of detention and house arrest that prominent dissident Thich Quang Do, a 2007 Nobel peace prize nominee, has addressed a public demonstration". The UBCV was banned in 1981 for refusing to submit to Communist Party supervision. Patriarch Thich Huyen Quang and Do, his deputy, have been in detention or under what activists call "pagoda arrest" ever since. |

 The reprehensible conduct of ex-Air vice Marshall Nguyen Cao Ky, during the visit to America of Communist Vietnam’s state president Nguyen Minh Triet in June 2007 is not only symptomatic of the moral corruption pervading the top military leadership of South Vietnam before the debacle in April 1975, but is also indicative of the permanent malaise of American foreign policy since the cold war era. |

 A generation has passed since bloodshed in southeast Asia ended with a victory for Vietnam’s communist government. It’s only right and appropriate that the United States normalize its relations with Vietnam — but the government there should not feel that emotions about the past will give it a free pass on human-rights problems. |

 Scores of peasant farmers have protested for three weeks outside a Vietnamese government building over land appropriation for development, one of the longest-running demonstrations of its kind in Vietnam. Some protesters accuse provincial officials of corruptly taking money from developers riding a boom in an economy that is one of the world's fastest-growing after China, but which is also showing signs of widening the gap between rich and poor. |
